Howitzer Motor Carriage M8
The 75 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M8, also known as the M8 Scott, was a self-propelled howitzer vehicle of the United States developed during the Second World War.
==Development==
The first design for a close support howitzer on an M5 tank chassis was the T41, which had the howitzer in the hull front. This did not progress past the mock-up stage as the crew would not have been sufficiently protected and design work started on the T47.〔Chamberlain and Ellis (1969) ''British and American Tanks of World War II'' p96〕 It was developed on the chassis of the then-new Light Tank M5 (Stuart VI). The prototype was designated the T17E1 HMC.〔http://www.wwiivehicles.com/united-states/vehicle/name-designation/t-number-vehicles.asp〕 It had the standard M5 turret removed and replaced with a larger open-topped turret; as a result, the drivers' hatches had to be moved from the hull roof to the glacis plate. After a mock-up had been produced, it was ordered into production.
